This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming related to constructors and destructors in C++. The instructor explains the roles of constructors and destructors, initialization lists, and the use of move constructors. Different ways of writing constructors, including default constructors and constructors with parameters, are discussed. The lecture also delves into constructor overloading, initialization with lists, and managing temporary instances. Additionally, the instructor explores constructor design in Cartesian and polar coordinates, providing insights on how to construct complex numbers using different approaches.
